Ingress protection ratings is the rank of protection offered by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).
Having a value of IP55, the OnePlus Buds Pro 2's rating is read as, the first value of 5 denotes that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, and the second value of 5 means that they can withstand medium pressure jet that's 6.3mm diameter, similar to garden hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 metres.
OnePlus Buds Pro 2 have a weight of 9.8g . We consider a lower weight best for the reason that lighter devices are easier to carry.
For a device to be true wireless it must have no wires connecting any part of the device together, OnePlus Buds Pro 2 are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables. This is a key distinction as some wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds .

ANC makes use of advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. ANC works when, it detects and analyzes the sound pattern of incoming noise and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (inverted noise) giving zero which results in a reduced level of noise.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 have Active Noise Cancellation allowing you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
